Historically - far closer to the west (CE and Med). Even CRO dinarics are culturally distinct from other Balkanites due to their religion and everything that goes with it.
Croatia experienced reneissance, baroque, humanism and made important contributions in it - these things didn't exist in Balkans.
Modern Croatian culture - pretty similar to other ex-Yugoslavian countries + americanisation, overall predominately Balkanic but with local flavor.
